6,300 frames of Su Shi's life: an MV animated entirely with Claude Opus 5.5
dotey · x · 2026-09-25
User @threeaus used Claude Opus 5.5 to generate roughly 6,300 frames of animation depicting the life of poet Su Shi, cut into an MV set to Faye Wong's rendition of "Shui Diao Ge Tou" for Mid-Autumn Festival.
Key workflow details:
- Started with a long prompt paired with the song; the first draft was already satisfying
- When annotations and lyric subtitles were missing, simply asked the model to generate them, and they fit well
- Later fine-tuned the ending silhouette locally — edits stayed targeted without breaking other parts
The author calls the controllability truly remarkable, noting many small details could still be polished further.
